A Mawneless Case. Itv eeaa naa bean a vary carious one for
Knnt thirteen Tean. At interval of
about one week I would be attacked with pelU of severe and most excruciating pain, always commencing in tbe region of my kidneys. The pain would then go upward and affect my body and my head, and seemed to penetrate my very eve-balli, creating the most intense suffering, lasting about eight hours each spell. I raeertad to all kinds of medicine without benefit. Several doctors treated my case, but none gave relief. I finally used B. B. B. as an experiment, and to ray utter astonishmeat all pain "and suffering vanished after using three doses. To the present time I have used three bottles, and not a pain has ever returned. I do not know what was the matter, neither could my physician name the complaint The B. B. B. acted finely and powerfully upon my kidneys ; my appetite has been splendid and my constitution built up rapidly. B. THOMAS. Constitution, 0a., May 6, 1886. DNIMPKACHED INTEGRITY. I am 55.

Tbe Sadden Death of "Tolte"
Slocomb. At about 2 o'clock Monday after
noon the startling news that Tobe Slocomb, a well known night policeman, had fallen dead in the
Mayor's office, flew from mouth to
mouth, and tbe crowds that hurried to tbe second story of the city building found tbe rumor only too true. Slocomb was a locomotive engineer a long time, but for several years has been a city night policeman and engineer for the steam fire engine. He was a very heavy man, weighing 249 lbs. at tbe time of bis death, and was sober and quiet. For a week or more be bad
complained of a terrible pain in
his head, and said tbat he could not sleep. The physicians think his death was due to the rupture
of a blood vessel ou the brain. At
the time the filial summons came
Slocomb was alone with the Mayor, James B. Mulky, who was filling out some blank affidavits for him to
make oath to. As the Mayor was
the only witness, the Progress interviewed him, and secured the following statement of facts :
A little after 2 o'clock p. m. I
came from court house to Mayor's office, and found Austin Slooumb
in front of engine room. Spoke to
him ; he replied back. I said, you seem to have a very bad cold, you are very hoarse." He replied, "yes, I have." He then asked me if I had seen Dick Fulk. I said.
not since in the forenoon. I said,
"is there any special reason why you want to see bim ?" He -said he wanted to make some affidavits.
I said, "in what cases." He told me. I replied, "I have those affi
davits np stairs." We both went
up. I took a seat at a table and began writing his name in one of the affidavits. When I had writ
ten "Austin," I asked him if he
had a middle name. He replied,
none, just Austin Slocumb."
These were bis last words. At tbat time he was standing in front and
on tbe opposite side of the table ;
he turned and made two or three
steps from tbe left hand end of tbe
table at which I sat. I bad just
got as far as tbe letters 'Aus' in his
name a second time, when, judging
from the noise of his feet (I was not looking at him) he turned suddenly
around and staggered toward the
table, falling, forward, his left breast
striking the corner of the table end
his bead striking my own, and he
immediaately sank down, with his
feet and legs doubled under him.
I caught hold of him to prevent him from falling backwards on the floor, and held him until Mr. Garrison Pauley and Hillory Headley, whom I bailed on the opposite side of the street, came up, whenjwe laid him on the floor with an overeoat under his head, after which he drew three or four breaths at long intervals. From tbe time he first fell his breathing was very hard, and at long intervals, with a noise similar to that of a bad case of whooping cough. He was wholly insensible from tbe time he first fell until he died, which as near as I could judge, was from three to four minutes. As soon as we laid him en the floor Pauley started for a doctor, but he waa dead before any arrived.
Deceased was a Knight of Pyth
ias. Funeral at 2 o'clock to-day

Dr. Dodds of Bloomington, was attacked with pneumonia, and is in a very critical condition. The Doctor ia in his 80th year, and pneumonia, ut his age, is almost invariably fatal. Tbe wife of Dr. Dodds is quite ill, and both herself and her husband are confined to their beds. It was Frank Moore of Richland township, son of the late Geo. Moore, who purchased Mrs. Braxtan's farm of 320 acres, near Ellettsville, paying 4,000 cash. John C. Wbisnand goes to Ciucfuyati this week to have an operation performed on one of his eyes by Drs. Williams & Ayres. There is a peculiar growth over the ball of his left eye that was removed four years ngo, but has again returned. Mr. W. of course suffers greatly, and is put to much expense and inconvenience by this affliction.
The Progress hopes he may secure
lasting benefit from the operation to be performed this week. Everybody will be glad to learn that Harvey Baker of this place has been granted an increase of pension. Baker was shot almost to pieces by rebel bullets, James Gilmore bought a ferret, some time ago.which be is carefully training to catch rabbits, and last week a man came along with a handsome specimen, very docile and well trained, and Gilraore bought that also, paying $5 for it.

"What are the Methodist folks

day this week. He said :
"The M. E. Sunday School this year will have a twin Christmas Tree. It will be up-stairs in the mam audience room, and any one wisbine to make presents must

Four sudden deaths that occur
ed in this State during Friday ,were
recorded in Saturday's Indianapolis Journal. It was a day of fatalities. Reserved seat tickets for Damon and Pythias will be on sale at McPbeeters' News Stand.
Mr. and Mrs. Monahon, of
Lancaster, Iud., listened to the Talmage lecture, last week. Reoorder Talbott says that he will record soldiers' discharges free of charge. This would seem to be cheap enough. The Red Men have decided to postpone their dance that was announced for the 22d. A number of Bedford Knights will attend the play of Damon and Pythias, which will be given here Dec. 21st and 22d. Dr. Wes. Newland and wife of Bedford came up to hear Talmage, and were the guests of Hon. H. C. Duncan's family. Prof. Woodford, wife and sister, leave Bloomington this week for New Haven, Conn., to spend the holidays. Mr. Robertson, near Clear Creek, while out hunting last week killed a white coon. It is said to have been a beautiful animal and of course a great curiosity.
The four year old daughter of
John Robertson died with oroup, on
Monday of last week, after a brief
illness. Little Emma was a bright child, a general favorite, and the parents have the sympathy of all friends, The Mendelssohn Club gave a concert at College Chapel on Tuesday night, to a large and well pleased audience. The musical talent of Bloomington has so often been spoken of in glowing terras in the Progress that we can add little to what has already been said. But we will say that it is unnecessary to import musicians while home talent is so satisfactory. John D. Alexander of Bloomfield, Ind., the Representative from Greene county te the Legislature, was married to Miss Mary Rogers in Bloomington, Wednesday morning last, at the residence of the bride's mother, on North College Avenue, Rev. Mr. DeLarme officiating. Miss Rogers is an estimable lady, and Mr. Alexander is popular with all who know him. The application of John Stock-
well for license was heard by the
county commissioners on Monday, and was refused.
The stone channeler for some time past iu use in the Dunn quarry, has been purchased by a new
stone quarry company near Bed
ford, ot which Hon. ti. C. Duncan is a member, and the channeler was loaded on a car for shipment last Saturday. It is probable that the Dunn quarry will purchase a ohanneler of double the capacity of the one sold. Bloomington cannot afford to be left behind, and wont be. Miss Mollie Waldron had an experience last Wednesday afternoon that will be impressed upon her memory for life. In company with her mother she had started down the railroad to call on a sick
acquaintance and when near the
residence of Mr. Nicholson she concluded to go up and ask Mrs. N.
to accompany them. Mrs. Waldron went on, and Mrs. Nicholson
being unable to go, Mollie returned to the railroad track and walked on
down till she got to Dr. Langdon's
residence, when she was alarmed by
the ringing tcue of the iron rails,
and just as she had stepped on a culvert she turned and saw an engine approaching rapidly. The engineer had been blowing the whis
tle and ringing ihe ball, but for some
unaccountable reason she seemed deaf to it. As she turned about and saw the locomotive her feet slipped
and she fell through, being caught
under the arms by the timbers. She struggled to drop through but could not, and then summoning all her strength, threw herself out of the culvert, and over the rail, she cannot tell how, and the engine, which had been, reversed, just grazed her clothing as it passed by. The shock to ber nervous system was verv great, and she sustained a serious cut on one of her limbs. The family physician thinks she will be unable to leave her room for several months. The engineer who saw Miss Waldrou's perilous position, and had been doing all in bis power to warn her, says it was a painful moment for him, as it seemed that nothing could prevent the ponderous machiue from cutting her body in twain, as she hung suspended in tbe culvert, Kansas leads all the States in the number of miles ot new railroads built during the past year. Dakota stauds socoad and Texas third.
George W. Thornton is one o the lucky men who have been awarded a pension. Dr. Rogers of Charleston, Ind., came to Bloomington to attend th wedding of his sister. Dr. Whitted and wife, Prof. Faraliee and wife, and Capt. Perry and wife came from Ellettsville to hear Dr. Talmage. Showers Bros, bedstead and furniture factory is running steadily, and on extra time. Tbe business has never been so good as during the last six mouths of 1886. Waldron, Hill & Co.'s spoke and hub factory has been running steadily all the year, and is shipping its products almost every day. The demand is good and prices satifactory. The firm is buying all the spokes that are offered. Dodds' chair factory is doing a good business. Every day or two immense loads of chairs are hauled through the streets to the depot for shipment. This factory turns out satisfactory work, and if they sell one bill in a town they are sure to sell another. Tbe Bloomington District, M. E. church numbers nineteen charges and circuits, and tbe District Conference is "composed of the traveling and local preachers, the exborters, the district stewards and one Sunday school superintendent and one class leader from each pastoral charge in the District," J A young woman of Polk tp. and a young man of Jackson county cme into the Clerk's office last Thursday evening to procure a license. After paying for the document, the groom asked Deputy McPbeeters to marry him. As Joe had no such authority be referred tbe matter to Judge Pearson, who was sitting in the room, and the Judge stated that be had never performed tbe ceremony,but after looking up the statutes to see that he had the authority, be braced up and did the job in workmanlike manner. This is the Judge's first experience, but having succeeded so well it is not likely to be his last The 33d annual meeting of ths State Teachers' Association will be held in Plymouth Church, Indianapolis, on Dec. 28th, 29th and 30th. Railroad fare one and one-third, round trip. See circulars. E. E. Sluss jr., son of Jan. G. and M. E. Sluss, of Riley, Ind., died Dec. 13th, aged 5 years and 6 months. The remains are to be brought to Bloomington for interment. John Adams, of Magoffin co., Ky., seventy-six years old, who has been married eleven tiroes, is again a widower., Now, here's a chance tor some woman who wants to go to heaven by Adam's express. Why Should any Republican object to the full and thorough investigation of the "mistakes" of the Democratic Trustees, at the late election? If it U a Democratic arrangement all the way through, as it appears, no impediment ought to be placed iu the way of its showing up, Mr. Harris, the great museum proprietor, came to the funeral of W. W. Durand, ou Tuesday. A strolling gvpsy told a West Virginia farmer that if he would place $25 in a certain hollow stump and leave it there nil night it would be doubled in the morning. The farmer tried it, and sure enough found $50 in the stump. Then the gypsy advised the farmer to put all he had, $700, in the stump and draw out $1,400 in the morning. The farmer took this advice, and now is looking for a gypsy who he says has stolen $700 from bim. A masked ball at Mitchell recently is making much bad blood. One preacher in the pulpit declared that no moral person would attend such an entertainment. This
